While I don't think it is the wisest use, it is a much better use than 90% of what Governments in Nigeria utilizes finances on .

It is a much better use than all that hotel money spent on public servants, all those cars purchased for political officers and the attendant fuel costs. It is a much better use than providing wasteful estacodes for government officials and their families. It is surely a much better use than more than 90% of all what government expends our meagre resources.

I surely do prefer the street lights run by expensive generators. At least in that one, we all benefit.

How much money do you believe is expended on fueling and maintaining the generators and do you believe it is good use of government money compared with other pressing issues? Just a question. Because it seems like you are flaunting such expenditure as an effective use of government money which 'touches the people'.

And that is exactly my point. Because Warri is a small city, it is very affordable for the government of Delta to run the lights on generators. Those Solar lights in PH cannot in anyway be compared to the lights in Warri. They are almost as dark as NEPA's low current!

O gosh, I really wish you did not use such a silly example. Do you care to tell the rest of the forum how those lights are actually powered? Is it not by massive generators the government uses state treasury fuelling? How embarassing. On the other hand, a good number of streets in Port Harcourt use solar powerred street lights,

The answer is a big NO.OOOOOOOOOOOO.Fashola is NOT the only performing governor. Akwa Ibom State governor, Godswill Akpabio is doing a lot, we are talking about development here. Physical development-roads, education, welfare, infrastructure, health, etc- not on the pages of newspaper and televison. I will implore people to visit these places , i think hearing from the newspapers or the TV is not good enough. I live in Lagos and really appreciate the efforts of Fashola especially in the transportation sector (the lagos big problem). As for other States i can't really say because i have NOT visited those places to give my candid opinion.

You are right, silence is the best response to this question. What Nairalanders think does not change the facts.

Performance is not determined by opinion. Its a measure of achievements for goals set out prior to a time.

Surely, there are many more value-adding debates Nairalander can engage in. This as well as many others topics are just purely time wasting debates with aggressive flavor. Please be more creative. Look around you and start up better topics. Something people can gain from and find worthwhile.

other governors may be performing but fashola being an opposition to pdp draws more sympathy than any other.He has guts to challenge yaradua on national issues and has taken giant strides which other governors are emulating from.We know the d performing & non-performing governors,so debating it here makes little difference,

Although Fashola is outperforming most of the other Governors, I don't think he has made as much impact on his people as much as some of the other Governors. Lagos is terrible and transforming it is a mountainous task. Anytime I am in Lagos, I always feel like it will take forever to transform Lagos.

Gov. Uduaghan of Delta state has made much more impact on Deltans than Fashola has made on Lagosians. And yet Fashola is obviously working harder. The task in Lagos is enormous.

i must say dt when i first saw diz topic i neva wanted reply but i wil be wrong to do so.Gov fashola has really surpass most ppl's xpcetatns b'z in his tym in office he has so far transform evry sector in lagos nd i doubt if anybody in lagos wil tel me dt he/she has nt felt fash's wind of change in ur area one way or d other.Am nt a politician nd in fact i vow nt to vote in diz country but i pray dt may God bles al those dt voted 4 fash.it is easier to manage a growing state than to sustain an over populated nd fully industrialised mega city in d mode of lagos state so plz dnt compare any gov to fash plz.anyway am nt surprised b'z he took after ashiwaju bola tinubu who made d platform 4 fash to susceed.EKO O NI BAJE O[color=][/color]

i smell beef. performance is not just doing something if u care to know. its not a political move so that ppl will praise u. When u impact the lives of people in an objective and sustainable manner , naturally praises will follow. no need to beef fashola. let ppl praise who they deem fit. no need to help other governors advertise their performance which we dont feel.
